I think RP Facilitators are over-rated liao.
-
In my point of view, I think that most facilitators can't even facilitate learning. When I ask them why do they come RP and teach, almost all the faci I asked gave me the same answer. I got this, "I believe in the Problem-Based Learning(PBL)" This is bullshi+. It's model answers. IMO, they are brained wash to say this!
If RP give me half the price of the full time salary, I think I can do a better job than them.

Politically correct answer. Outside RP, I do this because of ______________

It is not easy to guide the students to learn...
You won't know until you become a teacher yourself

Facilitators are those who facilitates learning.
Teachers are those who teach.
When I am in Sec school, I enjoy teaching. When they have problems, I'll patiently teach them. I can 100% say that my friend did learn a lot of things after my remedial session with them. -
I think those facilitators at RP it's because they can't join MOE.
Some is very very old, and some is very very young. At first glances you can tell that those oldies are just gotten retrenched, youngster are those who doesn't have the material to become MOE teacher.
Tsk tsk tsk.. Some even more pro ar. Have the mentality that RP staff work lessr than MOE stuff but gets equal or more pay.
See. Those faci who said they believe in PBL are just bullshi++ing. If they believe in PBL, then explain to me how they got their degree?! Unless they get their degree from a tertiary institution which uses PBL too, then say no more! -
RP seems to be maintaining a low profile for now..
and i wonder if their PBL actually produces results acadamically

But i think PBL is really under-rated

When i compare PBL and the conventional method, i think i actually learn more from PBL, and the good thing is, i learn things my way, so i remember them better, instead of forcing them in.

Old ones - those are the ones that may screw you up. They are from the industries and has lots of experience. They are not people whom you can crap and bullshit your way through. They know more than you. Those are the ones that will make super hard to research and argue.
All my third year facs are like this. They can screw me for all I care, I throw facts at them, nothing to say, I win.

Yeah... because the young ones don't have much experience, if any.

The older ones will show you what is the world. The only way to beat them is by knowledge, show what you understand. That's how I gotten my As. And really learnt a lot from them.
Painful lessons... but learn more. -

If you ask all the SAS and SIT student why they come to RP hor, I am sure most of them they'll tell you that no other school accept them, and they doesn't want to go ITE. -

Good for you. If we conduct a full scale survey on these few controversial questions hor, I think RP can close down liao.Originally posted by ChingAlvin:When i compare PBL and the conventional method, i think i actually learn more from PBL, and the good thing is, i learn things my way, so i remember them better, instead of forcing them in. -
I dunno. But untill a full scale survey can be done, nothing can be confirmed.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Your batch ba... not quite in my batch. -
